Mangroves may not be the first thing you picture when you think ‘forest’, but they’re both incredible, unique ecosystems and serve as a kind of structural and water-quality coastguard. And while mangrove forests make up about 0.1% of the planet’s surfa… Continue reading Roots of life: The 2023 Mangrove Photography Award winners
A team from the British Antarctic Survey has completed the first map of the ground beneath West Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier, which is the size of Great Britain and could raise global sea levels by 65 cm (25 in) in the coming centuries as it melts.Con… Continue reading Doomsday Glacier map to shed light on future sea levels

When it comes to the issue of climate change, naysayers often contend that we have an incomplete understanding of the Earth’s systems. While humanity is yet to uncover all the …read more Continue reading Faster Glacier Melting Mechanism Could Cause Huge Sea Level Rises
For the past seven years, a science team led by Professor Poul Christoffersen from the University of Cambridge has been studying meltwater lakes pooled atop the Greenland Ice Sheet, seeking to better understanding the role they play in the behavior of … Continue reading Basal meltwater is thawing the Greenland Ice Sheet from the bottom up
Tracking changes in huge masses of ice is key to understanding the effects of climate change on the planet, and researchers in Greenland have developed a new tool that takes the accuracy of such measurements to unprecedented levels. The technology uses… Continue reading Fiber optics map temperature of Greenland Ice Sheet in unprecedented detail
A new study has revealed that Earth’s glaciers have lost a staggering amount of ice over the last two decades, and the rate of loss is accelerating. The global effort used satellite data to track the deteriorating condition of some 220,000 glaciers, wh… Continue reading Study reveals massive ice loss from Earth’s glaciers in recent decades
A new study claims that in the next 80 years, the global land area exposed to coastal flooding as a result of climate change is set to increase by roughly 50 percent, threatening tens of millions of people, and up to 20 percent of global GPD. The autho… Continue reading Coastal flooding could put 20 percent of global GDP at peril
Greenland’s Jakobshavn glacier is gaining ice due to cyclical changes in ocean temperature, but that doesn’t mean things are getting better. Continue reading Why a Growing Glacier Isn’t Good News for the Climate
Greenhouses gas levels have hit a record high and there’s no sign of reversal, according to a new UN report. Continue reading The ‘Window of Opportunity’ to Act on Climate Change Is ‘Almost Closed,’ UN Warns
